Answer:

C. Not Likely to form any bonds

Explanation:

Assuming this atom is of neutral charge, it would be neon. We can tell as it has 10 electrons total. 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second. Noble gasses do not  form bonds, generally speaking.

Furthermore, any atom, ion or not, that has a full valance (outermost shell) is generally not likely to form bonds.
